On one side, there are non-invasive lasers—and on the other, various cosmetic surgeries. But in between, there is an amazingly effective, minimally-invasive body sculpting procedure that helps people permanently get rid of stubborn fat cells and tighten their skin. It’s Smartlipo™, and we were the first in the region to offer it. We’ve been doing Smartlipo™ longer than anyone in the area, and we know the difference it can make for people who are tired of battling the trouble spots.
Smartlipo™ is gentler than traditional liposuction because it uses a high-powered laser that zeroes in on that otherwise immovable body fat. It actually melts the fat cells, which are then suctioned—so they are gone for good. There are very few side effects, and only minimal downtime.
Smartlipo™ is quite effective, especially in places that are resistant to your healthy eating and exercise efforts, like the neck, jaw, arms, hips, thighs, abdomen, love handles, bra strap area, and male breasts.
How Smartlipo™ Works
We use local anesthetic to numb the area, and then place a tiny tube (called a cannula) under the skin and gently move it back and forth. Because the cannula has a laser fiber attached, it actually dissolves the fat cells. Then, the fat cells are drained. Since it’s a laser—which heats the blood vessels—there is less bleeding, bruising, and swelling than traditional liposuction.
After the anesthesia wears off, the area will feel slightly sore. You’ll want someone to take you home, and you’ll need to take it easy for a few days and follow the doctor’s instructions. But the downtime and discomfort is very minimal (see our FAQs for more information), and the recovery time is much faster than traditional liposuction. The great news is that you’ll start to see results soon after the procedure (and in the weeks and months following).
Smartlipo™ Satisfaction
After Smartlipo™, the fat cells can’t come back in the treated area. But Smartlipo™ is location specific, so if you gain weight, fat will be deposited in other untreated areas. Smartlipo™ isn’t a quick fix weight loss solution, and we don’t market it that way. What it is: a powerful cosmetic solution for a cosmetic problem that frustrates millions of people. We have an extremely high rate of patient satisfaction because we spend a lot of time talking with you about what you can expect from Smartlipo™, both during and after your procedure. We want you to love your results and feel good about your decision for years to come!

Testimonials
Dr. Ellison, I wanted to thank you for how great my face looks. Thank you so much for your generosity. You are a true artist and I am such a willing canvas. You are very talented! You were very gentle and I experienced very little pain. The swelling took little time to diminish and I had minimal bruising. My friends already noticed that I "look different". It was such a subtle change that they could see something but only thought I looked better...that is what I strive for and I know you shared my vision. You knew just what I needed.
Thank you Embody Staff for your care and support you gave to me during my procedure. I am thrilled with my results and I have received numerous compliments!
My experience at Embody was amazing! I had SmartLipo™ done on my upper/lower abdominal areas, as well as my flanks. Before I had my procedure the Dr. Contractor went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything that was going to take place. Dr. Contractor was always readily available to answer questions as they came up; and has been in close contact with me through out my experience.
The day of the procedure went smoothly and I was kept comfortable at all times. The pain I thought I might feel never came. The best way to describe the most intense parts of the procedure would only be mild discomfort. I have had more uncomfortable dental procedures! All in all, I would definitely recommend this procedure to my family and friends because I was able to make a quick recovery and I am yielding great results. I was able to see results after one week! From Dr Contractor's experienced, professional, and caring demeanor to the staff's forethought in determining my every need, I was and continue to be in great hands. Many thanks to the wonderful team at Embody!
Great facility with fantastic staff. There was a flat screen television in every room and anything I asked for I received. The doctor talked to me the entire time to make sure I was as pain free as possible.
I chose the laser liposuction because of the skin tightening that comes along with it and the small amount of down time involved. I have had a small amount of fat on my lower abdomen since about the age of 13. I am now a 29 year old male and no matter what diet or exercise or weight loss pill I tried I could not get that little bit of fat to go away. The fluid injection was the most uncomfortable part of the procedure. I never felt the incisions. When I was finished they sat me up and I looked down to find that problem area gone!
What a satisfying experience! At Embody, Dr. Sinnathamby and staff were committed to my care, comfort and results from the first time I met them. The staff was friendly and professional. The consultation was in depth, explaining all the details of the procedure. I knew I was making the right choice. I was awake during the entire procedure. I had very minimal discomfort but no pain. Dr. Sinnathamby talked to me throughout the procedure to make sure I was comfortable. I had the procedure on a Friday. Then, on Saturday, I coached my son's baseball game and mowed the lawn. On Monday, I returned to work with no complaints. The results were immediate. And now, six weeks out, I continue to see the difference. I not only look better but feel great too! I have finally gotten rid of the belly fat and love handles that I was not able to with diet and exercise. Smartlipo™ is definitely the answer. I have already recommended this state-of-the-art facility to my colleagues and friends.
